To tell you the truth, I like this album. In general understanding, Lee Bannon could be described as a Drum & Bass /Jungle producer having a slight influence from Juke/ Footwork, who creates music characteristic of delicate melodies. However, I would like to mention on one thing that not most of music reviews have picked up yet.

The album’s title is “Alternate / Endings”, and you can find that two words are being divided by a ‘/’ sign; and titles of some tracks in the album are also written in the same format as this. This ‘word / word’ format made me recall of something in my memory. Also, the melancholic taste of the track, “Bent / Sequence” impressed me well that it stuck to my mind for some time. Moreover, I started to wonder about the word ‘Bent’ that is being used in the track’s title; it is quite odd to use such a word in a title, isn’t it? Then came up to my mind was an Electronica band called Bent (from Nottingham, England) who have been active during the 2000’s. After getting this click, I got this opportunity of hearing one of Lee Bannon’s mixes which made me confident that my insight was right. Yes, he is playing Bent’s beautiful track of melancholy, “Swollen” in his mix! Moreover, I found out that the ‘word / word’ format which is being applied to some tracks’ titles in the album is also found in Bent’s tracks in the album, “Programmed to Love”.

Bent is quite known as a Leftfield band who have sampled numbers of recorded materials of others in their music, and it is quite exciting to find that their melancholic tone is being kneaded into Lee Bannon’s Drum & Bass tracks which are the music far more chopped up compared to their music in the 2000’s. That is why I like this album.
